Auto-Off Delay
Your SPT 1700 terminal has an automatic shutoff feature that turns off the power and
backlight after a period of inactivity. This feature helps conserve battery power in case you
forget to turn off your SPT 1700 terminal.
If you find that your SPT 1700 terminal shuts itself off before you finish reviewing the
information on the screen, increase the time setting of the automatic shutoff feature.
To set the Auto-off delay:
1. Tap the Auto-off after setting in the General Preferences screen to open the pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use for the automatic shutoff feature. You can choose a
delay of 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes.
Stay On In Cradle

scanner buttons. If you want this feature enabled, tap the Trigger Wake picklist and select the
“On” option. If you set this option to “Off”, the scanner buttons will not awaken the
terminal.
